16. Chichester (=)

Why?

Tucked beneath the humpbacked swell of the South Downs and the beaches and creeks of the coast, Chichester basks in a stunning natural setting. The pint-sized city itself is pretty good looking too. It's a compact grid of Georgian architecture built around the old Roman plan of North, South, East and West streets, much of it still enclosed by Roman walls. A medieval Market Cross and a Norman cathedral stand at the heart of what is surely one of the most agreeable town centres in the country.
